ONE COOL DUCK #1-KING OF COOL HC

ASTRA PUBLISHING
(W/A) Mike Petrik

Duck is feeling pretty good about himself. He can flip on a skateboard, and he’s a great friend. Then Cat comes along and seems so cool—but Cat also does some mean stuff nobody likes! Each character has a distinct way of speaking, and readers will love learning how to read and pronounce entertaining slang expression from the fifties and other “cool” eras.
